Uvin Gunasena

Graphic Designer

Sydney, Australia
During my 10 years of experience as a graphic designer, I had the opportunity to provide my services to a diverse range of organisations offering creative solutions for their print, digital and other design related requirements.

I have a thorough understanding on attending to client briefs, working through the design process with many changes and developments to achieve the result. The journey includes working with printers to negotiate print deadlines, update urgent changes, confirm final edits and discussing the best print materials to use based on the expected visibility and
practicality of the project.
